Our group was extremely disappointed with our recent stay at this apartment during Rio Carnival, mostly due to the bad service from the agency.
Firstly they insist that you pay 100% up front, so when there were problems with the flat there was nothing we could do about it as they already had our money. Of the 3 bathrooms only 1 had working hot water, and it took them a full 4 days to send someone to come and fix it, who told us this was a known issue before we stayed! At the high rates we paid during carnival this is simply unacceptable. There was also a flooding incident in 1 of the bathrooms 1 evening which made us call the "client 24 hour emergency" number provided - only to be told that no plumber could be sent til the next day. What is the point of an emergency number if they can't respond to genuine emergencies?
Secondly they knew we had 9 people staying in the flat and told us that the sofa beds slept 2 people each however these were very small and as a result those staying there were very uncomfortable.
They then wanted to charge us for extra towels and linen for the guests staying on the sofa beds despite knowing from the beginning that we would have this many guests. There were also broken curtains in one of the bedrooms resulting in light flooding the room very early, which they also did not fix.
Next, they only provided us with 2 sets of keys amongst 9 people and it took a full 6 days (out of a 10 day stay) for them to come and drop off more keys, after multiple daily phone calls requesting they do so their answer was always "tomorrow".
For the price paid for this apartment there should have been cleaners sent in at least every 2 days however if you want cleaning this is considered an extra service and they charge you for this.
The apartment itself has a great location and lovely doorman but this is the only positive I have to say. I would never rent from this agency again - we felt ripped off. We feel that Wimdu as an intermediary should not release the money to the agency straight away to account for when there are multiple major issues such as we had, as there was then no leg to stand on to help us get any kind of refund.
